🎤 Featured Podcast of the Week

In this episode of the HealthTech with Purpose podcast, we spoke with Sarah Lambert, the founder, and CEO of Ora Medical. Ora Medical is a startup headquartered in Montreal that focuses on enhancing accessibility in physical rehabilitation for individuals with walking disabilities who cannot move outside their homes.

Sarah has a professional background in physical therapy and mechanical engineering. She founded Ora Medical after seeing the challenges that her patients faced in accessing physical therapy. Many of her patients were unable to leave their homes due to their disabilities, which made it difficult for them to receive the care they needed.
